*  THE  POET  EGBERT  SOUTHEY  's  COPY,  with  his  autograph  on 
the  half-title  and  the  date  1802.     A  very  valuable  work  by  one 
who  resided  in  this  country  for  40  years.     The  author  points 
out  various  customs  of  the  Indians,  having  a  striking  resem- 
blance to  those  of  the  Jews;  and  the  great  object  of  the  work 
appears  to  be,  to  prove  that  the   aborigines   of  America  are 
descended  from  that  race.     Some  authorities  seem  to  question 
the  accuracy  of  his   statements,  but,   although  his   deductions 
may  be  wrong  and  his  conclusions  false,  his  observations  are 
exact  and  his  descriptions  accurate  and  valuable.

Witfcembergse,  1714 

*  RARE.    Unknown  to  Rich  and  Sabin.    In  the  first  tract  by 
Albinus  are  reviewed    the  discoveries  made    at    the  end  of 
the  15th  and    beginning    of    the    16th    centuries,   and    it    is 
interesting  from  the  fact  that  it  clearly  enumerates  the  reasons 
Columbus  had  for  believing  that  he  would  meet  with  land  to- 
wards the  West.    It  also  gives  some  details  as  to  the  imaginary 
Atlantis  of  the  ancient  and  mediaeval  geographers.  The  second 
tract,  by  Grotius,  attempts  to  define  the  origin  of  the  native 
races  of  America,  examining  the  various  theories  propounded 
in  the  16th  century,  viz.,  of  Norwegian,  Tartar,  Hebrew  and 
African  descent.     The  author's  conclusions  are,  to  say  the 
least,  wonderfully  plausible.

IT  DOES  NOT  SEEM  TO  HAVE  BEEN  SOLD  IN  THE  LONDON  AUCTION

THE  MARSHALL  C.  LEFFERTS  COPY  WAS  SOLD  PRIVATELY  TO

THE  LATTER   OF   WHICH   IS    OF  EXTRAORDINARY  RARITY,   THE   COPY 

IN  THE  LENOX  LIBRARY  BEING  WITHOUT  IT.     Beneath  this  por- 
trait appears  a  seven-line  eulogy  in  verse,  as  follows: 
"View  here  the  Shadow,  whose  Ingenious  Hand 
Hath  drawn  exact  the  Province  Mary  Land 
Displayed  her  Glory  in  such  Scsenes  of  Witt 
That  those  that  read  must  fall  in  Love  with  it 
For  which  his  Labour  hee  deserves  the  praise 
As  well  as  Poets  doe  the  wreath  of  Bays" 

Anno  Do.  1666,  Aetatis  Suae  28         H.  W. 

The  first  two  lines  are  original  as  issued,  the  balance  have 
been  supplied  in  excellent  facsimile,  and  the  margins  have  been 
extended  in  Riviere's  best  manner.  Also  the  outer  margins  of 
title  have  been  extended,  and  small  tear  skillfully  repaired. 

The  rare  map  bears  the  legend,  "A  Land-skip  of  the  Province 
of  Mary-Land  or  the  Lord  Baltimors  Plantation  neere  Virginia 
By  Geo.  Alsop,  Gent." 

The  author's  descriptions  of  the  Indians  (the  Susquehanocks) 
are  interesting  and  valuable.  He  describes  them  as  follows: 

"A  people  cast  into  the  mould  of  a  most  large  and  war- 
like deportment,  the  men  being  for  the  most  part  seven  foot 

6 


high  in  latitude,  and  in  magnitude  and  bulk  suitable  to  so 
high  a  pitch;  their  voyce  large  and  hollow,  as  ascending  out 
of  a  Cave,  their  gate  and  behavior  strait,  stately  and  ma- 
jestick,  treading  on  the  Earth  with  as  much  pride,  contempt, 
and  disdain  to  so  sordid  a  Center,  as  can  be  imagined  from 
a  creature  derived  from  the  same  Mould  and  Earth." 
When  in   1869  that  old  time  bookseller   and  enthusiast  Mr. 
William  Gowans  of  New  York  decided  to  reprint  this  rare  con- 
tribution to  American  History  he  did  not  count  on  the  exceeding 
rarity   of   the   original  from   which  to   make   his   reprint.     He 
finally  procured  a  copy,  however,  and  the  following  extract  from 
his  "Notes"  in  his  reprint  will  we  think  be  of  interest: 

"After    having    resolved    to    reprint    Alsop's    Account    of 

Maryland I  immediately  fell  in  with  a  difficulty  which 

I  had  not  counted  on.  After  much  inquiry  and  investigation, 
I  could  find  no  copy  to  print  from  among  all  my  earnest 
book  collecting  acquaintances.  At  length  someone  informed 
me  that  Mr.  Bancroft,  the  historian  had  a  copy  in  his  library 
....  he  generously  offered  to  let  me  have  the  use  of  it.  ... 
I  carried  the  book  home  ....  (but)  discovered  the  text  was 
imperfect  as  well  as  deficient  in  both  portrait  and  map  .  .  . 
I  made  known  my  condition  to  an  eminent  and  judicious  col- 
lector of  old  American  literature  (the  late  James  Lenox)  .  .  . 
he  very  frankly  informed  me  that  he  could  aid  me  ...  by 
letting  me  have  the  use  of  a  copy  .  .  .  Here  another  difficulty 
burst  into  view,  this  copy  had  no  portrait To  one  liv- 
ing a  considerable  distance  from  New  York  (John  Carter 
Brown)  I  took  the  liberty  of  addressing  a  letter  on  the  sub-

*  The  Latin  version  of  Lery's  voyage  to  Brazil  is  here  pub- 
lished for  the  first  time     This  Latin  version  is,  in  reality,  more 
valuable  than  the  original,  as  it  contains  passages  that  were 
suppressed  in  the  French.     Among  other  things  the  author 
gives  musical  notes  to  show  the  intonation  of  the  Caraibs, 
etc.,  a  fact  totally  unknown  to  Fetis.     In  Chapter  XX  is  a 
dialogue  in  Brazilian  and  Latin.    THE  FOLDED  PLATE  (p.  178), 

WHICH   REPRESENTS  THE  BATTLE  OF  TOUOUPINAMBAULTS  WITH

a  Protestant  minister,  who  went  out  to  Brazil  to  establish  a 
Colony  of  Huguenots,  under  the  protection  of  Admiral  Co- 
ligny  ;  but  the  scheme  not  succeeding,  he  returned  to  France 
and  published  the  work.  Benzoni's  History  has  also  the  rare 
title  of  1581,  which  is  to  be  found  in  a  very  few  copies  only.

Franciscan  who  went  to  Mexico  about  1529.  In  the  capital 
city  he  was  made  a  teacher  to  the  young  natives,  his  admi-

of  his  life  was  devoted  to  this  service.  He  died  at  the  age  of 
ninety  in  1590.  Numerous  valuable  manuscripts  were  written 
by  him,  the  most  important  being  his  General  History  of  New 
Spain.  The  valuable  glossary,  notes  and  introduction  add 
greatly  to  the  value  of  this  book  in  the  study  of  the  ancient 
language  of  Mexico.

*  EXTREMELY  RAKE.  The  author  was  one  of  the  earliest  settlers 
in  Canada,  possibly  going  out  with  Champlain,  and  was  Gov- 

Q  ernor  of  Trois-Bivieres.     The  object  of  this  book  was  to  interest 

^.  0   ^  the  Court  of  France  in  the  new  colony,  and  show  its  needs ; 

I A  Q  to  this  end  he  contrasts  the  state  of  the  country  with  the  neigh- 

boring English  colonies,  which  he  states  are  very  successful  and 
prosperous,  while  the  French  are  neglected  and  not  prospering, 
although  they  have  the  same  advantages.  He  describes  the 
country  in  much  detail,  and  gives  lengthy  accounts  of  the  Indian 
tribes.  A  VEBY  FIXE  COPY.  From  the  Sunderland  Library  and

*  VESY  FINE  COPY.     OF  THE  GREATEST  RARITY.     Bur   FEW 
COPIES  KNOWN.     Mr.  Field  collecting  as  he  did  so  many  years 
ago,  when  books  of  this  kind  were  very  much  more  common 
than  they  are  now,  WAS  UNABLE  TO  OBTAIN  A  COPY.     It  is,  how- 
ever, described  in  his  Indian  Bibliography    (59*).     As  is  well 
known,   the  items  indicated  by  a   star   are  those  he  knew   of 

BUT   DID   NOT   POSSESS.      The    COPY    HERE    OFFERED    IS    MORE    COM- 

fi  •  PLETE  THAN  THE  ONE  DESCRIBED  BY  MR.  FlELD,  IN  THAT  IT   CON- 

TAINS THE  EXCESSIVELY  RARE  TTAT.F  TITLE  AND  THE  BLANK 
FOLLOWING  PAGE  VI,  BOTH  OF  WHICH  WERE  MISSING  IN  THE 
COPY  DESCRIBED  BY  MR.  FlELD. 

"The  subject  of  this  biographical  sketch  attracted  much  at- 
tention to  himself  in  England,  whither  he  went  to  enlist  the 
interposition  of  the  Crown  in  favor  of  the  Creek  Indians,  over 
which  he  had  acquired  a  sort  of  chieftainship.  He  claimed  for 
them  the  rights  of  an  independent  and  sovereign  nation  .  .  .  The 
work  whose  title  is  above  given,  is  ranked  among  the  rarest 
works  relating  to  American  Aborigines.  Colonel  Force  once 
said  that  he  had  attempted  for  twenty  years  to  procure  a  copy 
without  success." — FIELD'S  Indian  Bibliography. 

He  was  the  son  of  a  British  school -master  (although  the 
narrative  says  planter),  who  ran  away  from  home  and  joined 
the  British  army  at  Philadelphia.  Dismissed  from  service  at 
Pensa^ola,  he  entered  that  of  the  Creeks  and  married  one  of 
their  women.

*  This  and  the  two  following  items  by  the  same  author  are 
of  extreme  rarity.      Father  Raymond  Breton,  a  Dominican, 
was  Sub-Prior  of  the  Monastery  of  Preaching  Friars,  at  Blain-

the    Island   of   Gardeloupe,    now  called   Guadeloup,  and  the 
Caribee  Islands,  in  America.    His  works  are  very  important,  as 
the  Caraibe  language  is  now  nearly  entirely  lost,  and  these  are 
the  only  books,  which  preserve  it  as  it  was  spoken  before  the 
arrival  of  the  Europeans.

*  This  remarkable  undertaking  was  originated  by  the  Empress 
Catherine  II  in  1784.     After  working  on  it  herself  for  nearly 
a  year  she  ordered  Prof.  Pallas  to  arrange  and  prepare  it  for 
the  press.     With  a  view  of  obtaining  vocabularies  in  American 
and  other  languages,  a  specimen  list  of  words  was  printed,  and 
some  copies  of  this  specimen  were  forwarded  to  General  Wash- 
ington, through  the  Marquis  de  Lafayette,  with  a  request  for 
authentic   vocabularies   of   the   North   American   Indians.     The 
receipt   of   this    application   was   acknowledged   on    May    10th, 
1786,  by  General  Washington,  who  wrote  on  the  20th  of  the 
following    August    to    Capt.    Thomas    Hutchins,    enclosing    the 
printed    specimen    and    asking    for    vocabularies    of    the    Ohio 
Indians.     On  Nov.  27th,  1786,  General  Washington  wrote  also- 

20 


to  Eichard  Butler,  the  newly  appointed  Superintendent  of  Indian 
Affairs,  requesting  him  to  obtain  the  printed  form  from  Capt. 
Hutchins,  and  to  collect  the  desired  information.  More  than  a 
year  passed  before  the  material  was  ready.  On  Jan.  20th,  1788, 
Washington  transmitted  to  Lafayette,  for  forwarding  to  the 
Empress  Catherine,  a  vocabulary  of  the  Shawanese  and  Delaware 
languages,  collected  by  Mr.  Butler,  together  with  a  short  speci- 
men of  the  language  of  the  southern  Indians  by  Mr.  Benjamin 
Hawkins. 

The  first  section  of  the  work,  edited  by  Prof.  Pallas,  com- 
prises words  in  200  European,  Asiatic  and  Polynesian  lan- 
guages. It  was  intended  to  follow  with  a  second  section,  con- 
taining the  American  and  African  languages;  but,  instead  of 
doing  this,  the  whole  work  was  rearranged,  under  the  editorship 
of  Prof.  Yankiewitch,  the  American  and  African  words  were 
included,  and  it  was  published  in  4  volumes.  In  this  revision, 
274  languages  and  dialects  are  included,  among  which  are  25 
American  languages.  These  are  the  Chippewa,  Delaware,  Shaw- 
nee,  dialect  of  the  people  on  the  river  Savannah,  various  Mexi- 
can and  South  American  languages,  the  Iroquois  dialects,  the 
languages  of  the  North-west  Coast,  etc.

PLATES,    ALL    OF    WHICH     ARE    BEAUTIFULLY    COLORED,    ALL    THE 
PLATES  WERE  RE-ENGRAVED  FROM  A  COPY  OF  THE  LONDON  EDITION 
THAT    HAD    APPEARED    SOME    MONTHS    PREVIOUSLY. 
IT   CONTAINS  THE  TEXT   OF   SIXTEEN   PAGES. 

IN  A  PREFACE  "TO  THE  AMERICAN  PUBLIC"  (which  is  signed 
with  the  initials  of  the  publisKer,  James  Ackerman),  the  writer 
makes  a  spirited  plea  that  quite  as  good  work  can  be  done  in 
America  as  abroad,  and  offers  this  work  as  evidence  of  his 
claim.  The  owner  and  cataloguer  agrees  with  the  publisher 
that  they  are  quite  as  good,  in  fact  he  thinks  that  some  plates 
are  even  finer  than  in  the  English  edition. 

The  following  extracts  are  from  this  ' '  Preface. ' ' 

"A  young  American  artist  ventures  to  challenge  for  his 
works  that  encouragement  which  has  hitherto  been  ministered 
too  sparingly  to  American  productions.  As  a  nation,  we 
have  so  long  been  reproached  with  inability  to  produce  pic- 
torial embellishments  equal  to  the  European,  that,  although 

a  mistaken,  has  become  a  received  opinion 

The  artist  and  publisher  of  the  republication  on  this  side 
of  the  water,  evincing  through  this,  the  enterprise  of  AMERI- 
CAN ART  .  .  .  has  ventured  (with  a  mere  change  of  dress)  to 
offer  a  cheaper,  and  he  trusts,  a  better  edition  than  the  more 
costly  London  copy  ....  This  venture  receiving  no  impulse 
from  the  powerful  arm  of  an  overflowing  government  treas- 
ury, starts  on  an  'Exploring  Expedition f  of  its  own,  into  the 
waters  of  criticism,"  etc.

*  VERY  RARE.     "In  the  first  edition  of  this  pamphlet,  dated 
1818,  of  which  but  one  copy  (now  in  the  State  Library  of  New 
York)   seems    to  have    survived    to    our    day,    Gov.    Clinton 
stated,  with  some  degree  of  positiveness,  that  there  were  evi- 
dences of  a  Spanish  Colony  having  existed  in  the  Onondaga 
Valley  among  the  Six  Nations.     Nothing  of  this  appears  in  the 
second  edition  (1820)  and  probably  the  rarity  of  the  first  is 
occasioned  by  its  destruction  at  the  hands  of  the  author." —

*  This  edition  of  Jonathan  Dickenson  's  Narrative  of  ship- 
wreck and  captivity  among  the  Indians  of  Florida  is  EVEN  RARER 

THAN    THE    FIRST    EDITION    OF    PHILADELPHIA.       The    practically 

unknown  fact  that  THERE  WERE  TWO  EDITIONS  PRINTED  IN  1700, 
one  containing  89  pages,  and  the  other  complete  in  85  pages  is 
here  presented.  THE  ABOVE  is  THE  LAST  NAMED  AND  is  BY  FAR 

THE  RARER  OF  THP  TWO. 

A  comparison  of  the  Lenox  copies  of  the  two  editions  shows 

THAT    THE   TYPE    WAS    RESET    THROUGHOUT.       Sabin     (No.    20015) 

describes  the  edition  of  89  pages  (the  copy  in  the  Library  of 
Congress). 

WITH  THE  EXCEPTION  OF  THE  COPY  IN  THE  LENOX  LIBRARY 
WE  CANNOT  TRACE  ANOTHER  COPY  OF  THE  EDITION  OF  85  PAGES. 

Mr.  Field  evidently  did  not  know  of  the  existence  of  THIS 
EDITION  WITH  85  PAGES,  as  he  makes  no  mention  of  it,  although 
in  mentioning  the  first  edition  of  1699,  he  says  of  the  1700 
edition  (89  pages)  that  .  .  (it)  .  .  "is  almost  equally  rare,  at 
least  I  have  never  seen,  or  indeed  heard  of  a  copy." 

The  author  and  his  wife  who  resided  in  Jamaica,  joined  the 
Society  of  Friends,  but  a  short  time  before  embarking  on  the 
royage  described  in  the  above  book.

P  repeated  in  another  hand.     There  was  a  John  Cosens,  an  Indian 

preacher  and  school-master  at  Monamoyick,  near  Eastham, 
in  1698,  who  may  have  been  a  relative.  On  the  same  page 
is  the  following  inscription,  apparently  written  by  another  per- 
son: 'nen  Laben  Tiogsuit  [or  hosuit?~]  ye  notuun-  pipien  \  June 
11  tays  year  1747.  \  nutunumunkgun  Solomon  pinnion  |  annotu 
4  Poun  |  keep  my  Commantment. '  There  are  also  many  Indian 
words  in  manuscript  scattered  through  the  metrical  Psalms, 
which  appear  to  be  variations  or  different  spellings  of  certain 
printed  words.  The  bible  was  also  once  owned  by  Mr.  Furman 
(born  1800,  died  1854),  who  was  justice  of  the  Brooklyn  Muni- 
cipal Court  from  1827  to  1830,  State  Senator  from  1839  to 
1842,  the  author  and  editor  of  several  historical  works,  and  a 
well-known  book  collector.  At  the  sale  of  his  library  in  New 
York,  December,  1846  (No.  1741),  the  book  was  purchased  by 
Alexander  W.  Bradford  for  $11.  Mr.  Bradford  (born  1815, 
died  1867),  whose  autograph  is  on  one  of  the  blank  leaves,  was 
Surrogate  of  New  York  city  and  county  from  1848  to  1851,  a 
well-known  jurist,  and  the  author  of  the  work  entitled' '  American 
Antiquities,"  published  in  1841.  At  the  sale  of  his  library  in 
New  York,  March,  1868  (No.  67),  it  brought  $95,  Mr.  Jaques, 
one  of  the  executors  of  Mr.  Bradford's  will,  being  announced 
as  the  purchaser.  Shortly  after,  it  came  into  the  hands  of  Mr. 
Sabin,  the  bookseller,  who  sold  it  to  Mr.  John  A.  Bice,  of  Chi- 
cago. While  in  Mr.  Bice's  possession,  the  leaf  of  contents  was 
probably  taken  out,  and  inserted  in  his  copy  of  the  first  edition, 
No.  12  of  the  list  of  Bibles  of  1663.  At  the  sale  of  his  collec- 
tion of  books  in  New  York,  March,  1870  (No.  663),  it  brought 
$120.  The  next  owner  was  Dr.  Edmund  B.  O'Callaghan,  the 
historian  (born  1797,  died  1880).  It  is  mentioned  as  being  in 
his  possession,  in  Mr.  Paine 's  list,  printed  in  1873.  When  Dr. 
O 'Callaghan 's  books  were  sold  in  New  York,  December,  1882 
(No.  851),  the  Bible  was  purchased  by  the  present  owner  for 
$140." 

The  six  and  a  half  leaves  which  are  in  facsimile  were  executed 
by  the  late  Edward  Bierstadt  in  his  best  manner.

the  ancient  and  present  Seats  of  the  Indian  Nations. "  It  i« 
very  slightly  worn  in  the  folds. 

This  map  is  generally  considered  to  be  one  of  the  best  (if 
not  actually  the  best)  maps  of  the  American  Colonies  that  were 
engraved  in  America  to  that  date  (1755). 

It  was  engraved  by  James  Turner  of  Philadelphia,  an  en- 
graver and  print  dealer  with  a  place  in  Arch  Street,  that  city. 
Among  his  other  engravings  is  a  curious  view  of  Boston,  en- 
graved for  the  American  Magazine  of  1744. 

For  a  long  and  valuable  account  of  this  famous  map  (of 
which  no '  less  than  10  editions  were  published  between  1755 
and  1807),  see  Mr.  Stevens'  "Lewis  Evans,  his  Map  of  the

*  A  BOOK  OF  EXCESSIVE  RARITY,  the  existence  of  which  was 
not  only  unknown  but  also  doubted  by  the  European  biblio- 
graphers, till  the  year  1856,  when  Brasseur  de  Bourbourg  dis- 
covered a  copy  of  the  same.  The  No.  of  January  12,  1856,  of 
the  ' '  Athaeneum ' '  thus  announced  the  discovery :  l '  Bourbourg 's 
second  letter  on  his  literary  discoveries  is  not  less  interesting 
....  We  have  now  a  positive  proof  that  the  grammar  of  the 
Cachiquel  language,  by  the  Eev.  Father  Alonzo  (Ildefonso) 
Flores,  is,  as  already  stated  by  Juarros,  really  printed,  a  fact 
which  neither  Hesse,  nor  Scherzer,  nor  Squier  had  been  able  to 
establish,  although  Juarros  says  that  Flores  had  been  Professor 
of  Indian  languages  at  the  San  Carlos  University  of  Guatemala 
and  that  his  grammar  had  been  found  to  be  very  useful."

EDITION  OF  THIS  PRECIOUS  VOLUME  OF  AMERICANA.  Until  1898 
it  was  not  known  that  there  were  two  issues  of  this  work,  the 
fact  having  been  pointed  out  by  the  late  American  bibliographer 
Henry  Stevens  of  Vermont.  On  page  60  the  concluding  para- 
graph in  this  (the  first)  issue  contains  thirteen  lines  and  con- 
sists of  a  criticism  of  the  clergy.  "  But  I  much  more  muse 
that  so  few  of  our  English  Ministers  that  were  so  hot  against 
the  Suvplis  and  Subscription;  come  hither  where  neither  spoken 
of,"  etc.  In  the  second  issue  this  was  cancelled  and  twelve 
lines  of  other  matter  of  a  non  critical  nature  substituted. 

The  author's  minute  and  descriptive  accounts  of  the  charac- 
teristics of  the  Indians  of  Virginia  are  among  some  of  the 
earliest  printed.

Southern  tribes  of  Indians,  the  Indian  material  filling  much  of 
the  greater  portion  of  the  work.  The  account  of  the  attempted

collected  into  a  community  .  .  .  sacrificed  to  the  brutal  and 
cowardly  vengeance  of  a  murderous  mob.  Ninety  Christian  men

It  relates  also  the  construction  of  the  Chapel  of  Our  Lady  of 
the  "Becouvrance."     Le  Jeune  speaks  too  of  his  school,  where 
are  over  twenty  Indian  children,  whose  attainments  in  scholar- 
ship are  described;  and  the  eloquence  and  shrewdness  displayed

*  Harrisse,  Nouvelle  France,  No.  63.     THE  VERY  RARE  FIRST

Bancroft  copies   described  by  Paltsits,   and  it  is  unknown  to 
him.     Page  85  is  the  same  as  the  Lamoignon-Lenox  copy,  and 
pp.  146-159  read  as  the  Bancroft -Lenox  copy.     The  above  re- 
lation, although  ascribed  by  all  bibliographers  to  Le  Jeune,  be- 
cause he  was  the  superior  and  the  editor,  is  however  a  com- 
posite: the  first  part  being  the  annual  report  sent  by  him  to 
his  Provincial  at  Paris,  and  dated  Quebec,   August   28,   1636. 
The  second  part  consists  of  a  relation  on  the  Huron  mission,  by 
Father  Brebeuf,  dated  at  Ihonatiria,  July  16,  of  the  same  year, 
and  sent  down  to  Le  Jeune  by  a  native  messenger.     In  the  first 
part  will  be  found  an  account  of  the  death  and  burial  of  Champ- 
lain;  and  in  the  second,  the  news  that  the  missionaries  are  com- 
piling a  grammar  and  a  dictionary  of  the  Huron  dialect,  and  a 
chapter  devoted  to  the  peculiarities  of  this  tongue.

of  two  writers.  Part  I  is  the  report  of  the  Superior,  Father 
Le  Jeune,  to  the  Provincial  at  Paris,  and  chiefly  refers  to  the 
work  on  the  St.  Lawrence;  it  is  dated  at  Sillery,  September  4, 
1639,  and  in  it  will  be  found  a  detailed  description  of  the  foun- 
dation of  the  Ursuline  convent  at  Quebec  by  Madame  de  La 
Peltrie,  and  the  arrival  of  the  nuns  (August  1,  1639).  The 
second  part  is  the  Huron  report,  made  by  Father  Jerome  Lale- 
mant,  and  dated  at  Ossossane,  June  7,  1639.  He  enumerates 
the  priests  who  are  laboring  among  the  Hurons,  describing  their 
daily  occupations,  their  plan  of  work,  and  their  intentions  for 
the  near  future.  A  description  is  given  also  of  the  varioui 
feasts,  dances  and  other  superstitious  ceremonies  of  the  Indians.

having  Vimont 's  name  on  the  title-page,  was  only  edited  by

Quebec,  September  10,  1640;  Part  II  is  the  report  on  the  Huron 
mission  by  Father  Jerome  Lalemant,  which  is  dated  from  the 
Hurons,  May  27,  1640.     The  first  part,  containing  Le  Jeune '• 
relation,  is  very  important,  as  he   enumerates   in  it  ALL  THE 
INDIAN  TRIBES,  OF  WHOM  THE  FRENCH  HAVE  KNOWLEDGE,  FROM

*  Harrisse,   Nouvelle   France,   No.    77.     RARE.     Although  the 
name  of  Father  Vimont  is  on  the  title,  however,  his  part  seems 
to  have  been  that  only  of  nominal  editor.     Part  I  is  by  Father 
Paul  Le  Jeune;  it  was  addressed  to  the  Provincial,  and  carried 
by  Le  Jeune,  personally  to  France.     Likewise,  Part  II   (on  the 
Huron    mission)    is    addressed    directly    to    the    Provincial    by 
Father  Jerome  Lalemant.     In  the  first   part   is   described  the 
work  of  the  Ursulines,  who  not  only  teach  the  French  girls  of 
the  Colony,  but  have  also  a  little  seminary  of  young  Indian 
girls;  the  progress  of  affairs  at  St.  Joseph  de  Sillery,  the  new 
settlement   of  Indian   converts,   a   detailed   account   of  various 
conversions,  etc.     At  the  end  of  Part  II  is  a  specimen  of  the 
Huron  language,  accompanied  by  a  French  translation.

on  p.  91,  line  23  of  part  I,  which  were  corrected  to  "Lalemant" 
and  ' '  Vimont ' '  in  the  second  issue.  Also  this  relation,  like  others, 
is  in  two  parts.     Part  I,  the  Quebec  report,  is  by  Barthelemy 
Vimont,  superior  of  the  Quebec  residence,  who  dates  it  October 
4,  1642;  Part  II,  the  Huron  report,  is  by  Father  Jerome  Lale- 
mant, and  is  dated  Ste.  Marie,  in  the  Huron  country,  June  10, 
1642.     The    account    of    the    Hospital    at    Quebec    in    Father 
Vimont 's  relation  is  very  interesting,  as  is  also  that  of  the  noble 
work  of  the  Ursuline  Seminary.     FINE  AND  PERFECT  COPT.

*  Harrisse,  Nouvelle  France,  No.  81.     THE  VERY  RARE  EARLIEST 
ISSUE  with  pp,  306  and  307  mispaged  326  and  327,  while  in  later 
impressions  the  mispagination  has  been  rectified.    Owing  to  the 
fact  that  the  Iroquois  had  captured  the  year's  report   of  the 
Huron  missions,  this  relation  is  written  wholly  by  the  Superior, 
Father  Vimont;   it  is  without  date,  but  was  probably  written 
in  the  early  autumn  of  1643.     Vimont  describes  especially  the 
manner   of   Life   of   the   Indians   of   the    Sillery   mission,    and 
speaks  of  their  piety  and  zeal,  and  gives  an  account  of  Father 
Jogues's    capture    by    the    Iroquois,    of    his    sufferings    among 
them,  and  of  the  happy  event  of  his  deliverance.     To  this  rela- 
tion  is   appended   a   formal   declaration   by  the   directors   and 
associates   of   the   Company   of   New    France,   exonerating   the 
Jesuits   from   the   oft-preferred   charge   of   having   commercial 
interests  in  Canada,  or  any  connection  with  the  fur  trade.

*  Harrisse,  Nouvelle  France,  83.     This  issue  is  unknown  to 
Mr.  Paltsits.     Pp.  52-63   (Part  I)   are  like  the  Bancroft-Lenox 
copy,  and  p.  67  like  the  Lamoignon-Lenox  copy;  that  is  to  say, 
that  pp.  52-63  are  of  the  first  issue,  and  p.  67  of  the  second 
issue.     This  relation  consists  of  two  parts:     The  first,  the  usual 

/liL-  general  survey  by  Father  Vimont,  is  dated  at  Quebec,  Septem- 

Q  ber  5,  1644;  the  second,  by  Father  Lalemant,  is  devoted  to  the 

Huron  mission,  and  covers  two  years,  1642-44.  This  last  report 
is  preceded  by  a  letter  of  Father  Vimont  to  his  Provincial, 
dated  Quebec,  September  1,  1644,  in  which  he  tells  him  that  the 
first  copy,  which  the  Huron  Fathers  had  forwarded  to  him,  fell 
into  the  hands  of  the  Iroquois.  A  second  copy  reached  him  too 
late  for  transmission  to  France  in  1643,  and  consequently,  was 
delayed  until  1644,  when  it  went  over  with  a  supplementary 
report  for  that  year.

the  fur  trade  to  the  inhabitants  of  the  country  by  the  Com- 
pany of  New  France  and  the  Montreal  Associates  respectively. 
Much  space  is  devoted  to  the  pious  utterances  and  behavior  of 
the  Christian  Indians.  The  relation  is  supplemented  by  a  letter 
from  Father  Jerome  Lalemant,  dated  in  the  Huron  country, 
May  15,  1645,  concerning  that  mission.

described  by  Harrisse  in  his  "Nouvelle  France, "  but  he  refers 
to  it  in  the  note  appended  to  No.  475.     The  book  (( gives,  in 
popular  style,  and  often  abridged  from  the  Relations  and  other 
contemporary  documents,  an  account  of  the  Canadian  Indians 
(especially  of  the  Hurons) ;  of  the  Jesuit  missions  among  them,, 
and   the   difficulties   incident   to   their   conversion;    and   of   the 
death  of  Jogues,  Daniel,  and  other  missionaries  who  have  fallen 
at  their  posts,  in  this  arduous  service."     Part  I  tells  of  the 
situation  and  characteristics  of  New  France;   part  II  of  the 
conversion  of  the  natives;  and  part  III  of  the  death  of  several 
Jesuit  fathers.     The  author  had  been  a  missionary  among  the 
Hurons  from  1645  to  1649.     As  the  Jesuit  relations  had  been 
printed  in  French  only  and  as  the  Roman  Catholics  of  Europe 
were  interested  in  the  progress  of  work  in  America,  Father 
Bressani  published  this  account  in  Italian.     For  a  French  trans-

*  Harrisse,  Nouvelle  France,  No.  103.    The  above  relation  was 
wholly  written  by  Father  Francois  Le  Mercier,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  the  last  chapter,  which  is  an  epitome  of  information  on 
Canadian    matters    received    by    the    Paris    editor    from    other 
sources.     The   Superior,   in   his   introductory  note  to   the  Pro- 
vincial  (dated  Quebec,  September  21,  1654),  mentions  the  suc- 
cess   of    Father    Le    Moyne's    recent    journey   to   the    Iroquois 
Country,  and  the  consequent  opening  for  a  mission  there,  and 
he  asks  that  six  more  Fathers  be  sent  to  Canada.

*  The  above  relation  is  written  by  Father  Jean  de  Quen,  in 
the  absence  of  his  superior  (Le  Mercier)  at  the  Onondaga  mis- 
sion recently  begun  by  the  Jesuits.     This  enterprise  constitutes 
the  main  subject-matter  of  the  relation.     A  prefatory  note  by 
Be  Quen,  dated  Quebec,  September  7,  1656,  outlines  the  chief 
events  of  the  year,  among  which  Le  Moyne's  second  voyage  to 
the  Mohawk  country,  his  visits  to  the  Dutch  settlement  at  Fort 
Orange,  the  embassy  of  Fathers  Dablon  and  Chaumonot  to  the 
Onondagas,  etc.     In  this  relation  will  also  be  found  an  interest- 
ing description   of  many  superstitious  rites   of  the   Onondaga 
Indians  and  their   annual  ceremonies   in  preparation   for  war.

*  Harrisse,  Nouvelle  France,  No.   110.     This  relation  is  pre- 
faced by  a  short  letter  to  the  Provincial  from  Le  Jeune,  pro- 
curator in  France  for  the  Canadian  missions.     He  explains  that 
misfortune  has  again  befallen  the  Relation   (this  year  written 
by  De  Quen)  ;  the  ship  by  which  it  was  sent  was  "captured  by 
the  Spaniards,  and  all  the  letters  on  boards  were  thrown  into 
the  Sea. ' '     Le  Jeune  therefore  compiles  a  report  of  the  mission 
work,  from  some  letters  recovered  from  the  disaster,  and  some 
others,  which  arrived  in  France  too  late  for  the  Eelation  pub- 
lished last  year.     THE  REPORT  OF  THIS  YEAR  DEALS  WITH  THE 
WORK  BEGUN  AMONG  THE  IROQUOIS  TRIBES,  which  indicates  great 
promise  of  success.     BARE.     GEORGE  BANCROFT'S   COPY,  WITH

*  Harrisse,  Nouvelle  France,  No.   115.     This  relation   is   ac- 
credited  to   Lalemant,   as   superior   of   the   Canadian   missions, 
although  his  name  does  not  appear  as  its  writer.     He  begins 

A  by  comparing  the  peaceful  and  prosperous   conditions   of   Old 

"/  France  with  the  sad  and  gloomy  aspect  of  affairs  in  the  New, 

caused  by  the  cruel  and  harrassing  war  incessantly  waged  by 
the  Iroquois  against  the  French  Colonists.  Lalemant  sketches 
also  the  history,  character  and  political  condition  of  the  Iroquois 
tribes.  A  chapter  is  devoted  to  an  account  of  the  Algonquin 
tribes,  who  had  fled  westward  from  the  Iroquois.  One  of  the 
most  remarkable  occurrences  mentioned  here  is  the  almost  total 
suppression  of  drunkenness  amongst  the  Indians,  through  the 
efforts  of  Father  Laval.  Several  leaves  wormed  in  the  lower 
margin,  otherwise  GOOD  AND  LARGE  COPY  OF  THIS  RARE  ITEM.

*  Harrisse,  Nouvelle  France,  No.   117.     The  relation  is  pre- 
faced by  an  urgent  and  eloquent  appeal  to  the  King  of  France 
for  aid  to  Canada;   this  is  signed  by  Father  Paul  Le  Jeune, 
Paris  agent  of  the  Canadian  missions,  who  is  apparently  the 

"  editor  of  the  publication.     In  the  opening  chapter  is  given  a 

melancholy  account  of  the  wretched  condition  to  which  the 
Iroquois  have  reduced  the  French  Colony.  In  the  third  chapter 
is  contained  a  journal  (probably  written  by  Dablon)  of  the 
first  voyage  towards  the  North  Sea,  in  which  is  given  an  account 
of  the  mission  to  the  Cree  tribes.  The  last  chapter  concerns 
Le  Moyne's  mission  to  Onondaga,  to  procure  the  release  of  the 
French  captives  there.

written  by  Father  Jerome  Lalemant.     It  contains  a  description 
of  the  reverses  sustained  by  the  Iroquois  at  the  hands  of  the 
Algonquins    and   other    tribes;    of    the   notable    earthquake    of 
1663,  which  was  preceded  by  mysterious  aerial  phenomena;  and 
of  the  death  of  Father  Menard.     At  the  end  is  an  account  of

*  Harrisse,   Nouvelle   France,   No.    124.     ONE   OF   THE   VERY 

RARE  COPIES  WITH  THE  LETTER  WRITTEN  BY  THE  SUPERIOR  OF  THE 

HOSPITAL  NUNS  AT  QUEBEC,  dated  October  23,  1665,  giving  an 
account   of  their   labors,   and  thanking  her   correspondent   for 
aid  sent  to  the  hospital;  the  letter  ends  with  a  list  of  medicines, 
/  utensils,  etc.,  needed  in  the  hospital.     It  is  evident  that  it  was 

0  l  printed  separately,  because  it  has  its  own  signatures  and  pagi- 

nation; probably  it  was  also  distributed  separately  and  its 
presence  in  some  copies  is  purely  incidental.  The  folded  plan 
mentioned  above,  is  of  considerable  interest  and  is  very  often 
lacking.  This  relation  was  sent  by  Francois  Le  Mercier,  the 
new  Canadian  Superior;  he  relates  the  circumstances  connected 
with  Tracy's  commission  to  visit  all  the  French  possessions  in 
America,  the  erection  of  the  three  new  forts  on  the  Eichelieu 
Eiver,  ordered  by  Tracy,  NouvePs  second  journey  to  Lake 
Manikouagan,  etc.  A  chapter  is  devoted  to  two  comets,  which 
were  visible  at  Quebec,  in  the  winter  of  1664-65,  with  scientific 
observation.  Library  stamps  on  title  and  last  leaf,  otherwise 
fine  copy.

*  Harrisse,  Nouvelle  France,  No.  135.     The  Work  is  prefaced 
by  an  undated  letter  from  Francois  Le  Mercier  to  the  Provincial 
in  France,  in  which  he  exultantly  announces  that  "all  the  Iro- 
quois  nation  is  on  the  eve  of  embracing  the  Christian  religion," 
to  which  subject   is   devoted  a  large  part   of  the  relation;    a 
good  part  is  also  occupied  by  the  report  of  the  Ottawa  mis- 
sion, made  by  Father  Dablon  to  his  Quebec  superior,  in  which 
will  be  found  a  detailed  description  of  Lake  Superior  and  its 
Fisheries,    and    considerable    information,    obtained    from    the 
Indians,  regarding  the  copper-mines  of  the  region.

*  Harrisse,  Nouvelle  France,  No.  138.     This  relation  was  sent 
to  the  Provincial  of  France  by  Father  Claude  Dablon,  superior 
of  the  Canadian  missions.     He  relates  the  recent  extension  of 
the  missionary  field,  now  rendered  possible  on  account  of  the 
peace  between  the  Iroquois  and  Ottawas,  and  gives  an  account 
of  the  Huron  colony  near  Quebec;   part  II  concerns  the  mis- 

68 


sions  to  the  Iroquois  tribes,  and  in  part  III  are  described  the 
Ottawa  missions.  A  chapter  is  devoted  to  the  character,  man- 
ners and  customs  of  the  Illinois  Indians  and  to  the  Mississippi 
river  and  valley.  On  p.  148  is  to  be  found  an  account  of  par- 
helia or  mock  suns,  which  were  observed  in  the  winter  of  1671, 
and  of  which  is  given  an  illustration  on  p.  154.  Slightly  foxed,

page,  repeated  with  the  second  part,  and  34  vigorous  cop- 
per-plate engravings  depicting  the  atrocities.  4to,  old  calf. 

Amsterdam,  16?0 

*  The  atrocities  depicted  on  these  fine  old   copper-plate   en- 
gravings are  most  inhuman,  and  in  some  instances  of  such  a 
nature  as  to  be  almost  incredible.     Apart,  however,  from  their 
being  records  of  tyranny  they  are  valuable  historically  because 
they  shew  the  appearance  of  some  of  the  buildings  in  various 
streets  and  squares  of  the  cities  of  Flanders,  Brabant,   etc.; 
in  the  16th  century;    furthermore,  small  vignette  portraits  of 
the  Duke  of  Alva  and  his  generals  are  inset  in  many  plates. 
The  second  part  contains  Las  Casas'  Relation  of  the  cruelties  of 
the  Spaniards  towards  the  Indians.     Upper  part  of  title  and 
lateral  margins  of  a  few  engravings  slightly  shaved,  otherwise 
good  copy.

Micmacs  he  calls  "Porte-Croix/'  from  the  habit  they  had  of

HISTORY,  APPARENTLY  BUT  LITTLE  KNOWN  AND  POSSIBLY  UNIQUE 

(IN     ORIGINAL     PRINTED     BOARDS)      AS     HERE     OFFERED.        Collated 

with  the  copy  in  the  Lenox  Library  and  guaranteed  perfect. 
The  Lenox  copy  is  bound  in  morocco.  In  addition  to  the 
historical  material  contained,  extending  over  431  pages,  the 
illustrations  are  peculiarly  valuable  as  forming  a  collection  of 
original  and  accurate  views  of  cities  and  towns  along  the 
Mississippi,  which,  we  believe,  in  character  and  number,  are 
nowhere  else  to  be  duplicated.  Among  these  may  be  mentioned 
views  of  MINNEAPOLIS  (then  a  wilderness),  ST.  PAUL  (merely 
a  few  scattered  shanties),  ST.  Louis,  PRAIRIE  DU  CHIEN,  Wis.; 
CASSVILLE  IN  1829,  GALENA,  QUINCY,  ALTON  AND  CAIRO,  ILL.; 
Du  BUQUE,  BURLINGTON  AND  KEOKUK,  IOWA;  THE  GREAT  FIRE 
IN  ST.  Louis,  May,  1849  ;  MEMPHIS,  TENN.;  VICKSBURG  AND

NATCHEZ,  Miss.;  etc.,  etc.,  including  a  large  folding  view  of 
NEW  ORLEANS,  and  number  of  views  of  other  places  of  interest, 
with  a  series  of  plates  relating  to  the  INDIANS,  hunting  adven- 
tures of  the  pioneers,  steamboat  life  on  the  river,  etc.,  viz.: 
BED  WING'S  VILLAGE,  A  SCALPING  SCENE  ON  THE  MISSISSIPPI, 
GRAND  COUNCIL  OF  THE  INDIANS,  THE  DOG  DANCE,  OLD  FORT 
SNELLING,  CAMP  OF  THE  U.  S.  TROOPS,  FORT  ARMSTRONG  ON 
ROCK  ISLAND,  THE  MORMON  TEMPLE  AT  NAUVOO  (shortly  before 
its  destruction),  and  THE  BATTLE  OF  BAD  AXE,  the  last  crush- 
ing defeat  of  the  INDIANS  in  the  BLACK  HAWK  WAR,  etc.,  etc. 
In  all  78  plates,  32  of  which  are  views  of  towns  and  cities. 

Many  of  these  illustrations  are  doubtless  the  EARLIEST 
COLORED  VIEWS  extant  of  a  number  of  the  places  represented, 
and  being  the  work  of  a  pioneer  painter,  taken  from  nature  as 
far  back  as  1829,  are  of  surpassing  interest. 

Sabin  mentions  the  book,  quoting  the  title  incorrectly  and 
giving  the  number  of  plates  as  24.  It  is  evident  he  had  never 
seen  a  copy,  and  it  is  quite  strange  that  a  work  of  such  impor- 
tance should  have  remained  so  long  practically  unknown  to 
collectors  and  students  of  American  history.

6    /  *ONE  OF  THE  FINEST  COPIES  IN  EXISTENCE,  with  the  exception

GENERALLY  MORE  THAN  LESS.  Vol.  I  is  sewn  in  upside  down, 
evidently  the  original  binder's  error. 

The  work  is  largely  devoted  to  the  history  of  the  border  war- 
fare with  the  Creeks  and  Cherokees.  Numerous  incidents  re- 
lating to  these  tribes  and  their  sanguinary  attacks  upon  the 
frontiers,  with  sketches  of  their  chiefs  and  of  the  loyalist 
refugees  who  led  them,  are  narrated.  These  were  derived  in

*VERY  RARE.  PETER  MARTYR'S  FIRST  NARRATIVE  OF  THE  DIS- 
COVERY MADE  BY  GRIJALVA  AND  THE  EXPEDITION  OF  CORTES  TO 
MEXICO,  added  to  a  fuller  account  of  Cuba,  than  was  contained 
in  his  three  decades  already  printed.  Mr.  Harrisse  is  mistaken 
in  asserting  that  this  is  an  extract  from  the  fourth  Decade. 
The  Latin  phrase  which  he  quotes:  "Ex  mearurn  Decadum 
libellis,  etc.,"  in  support  of  his  statement,  proves  the  contrary. 
The  author  begins  this  treatise — (an  independent  work,  specially 

88 


prepared  for  the  Pope  to  supply  fuller  details  concerning  Cuba 
than  the  Decades  had  given,  and  to  relate  the  story  of  Mexico, 
concerning  which  he  had  yet  published  nothing) — with  the 
words  which  may  be  translated  thus :  From  my  Decades  already 
published,  it  may  lye  learned  that  some  wandering  natives  thrown 
on  the  shores  of  Darien  happened  to  see  books  in  the  hands  of 
our  Spaniards,  and  wondering  thereat  asserted  that  they  had 
been  in  lands  where  similar  instruments  were  used,  etc.  This 
is  a  reference  to  the  before-unknown  existence  of  the  civilized 
monarchy  of  Mexico;  the  discovery  of  which  and  the  invasion 
by  Cortes  he  proceeds  to  weave  into  his  tale  of  Cuba.

*ORIGINAL  EDITION.  VERY  RARE".  Mr.  Field's  comment  on 
this  work  is  so  interesting  that  we  quote  in  full; — ''In  this 
extraordinary  relation  of  the  effects  of  the  Gospel  upon  the 
aborigines,  are  narrated  biographical  sketches  of  one  hundred 
and  twenty-nine  Indians,  who  gave  unexceptional  tokens  of  con- 
version by  Christian  lives.  The  humane  labors  of  this  noble 

90 


missionary  contrast  so  strikingly  with  the  bloody  massacre  of 
the  Cheyennes  in  1863,  by  the  forces  under  the  Eev.  Colonel 
Chivington  at  Sand  Creek,  that  we  cannot  but  wonder  if  their 
religion  was  the  same.  We  are  reminded,  however,  that  Mr. 
May  hew 's  own  sect  instigated  wars  between  the  tribes  of  New 
England,  in  order  to  weaken  their  forces,  slaughtered  the  entire 
adult  members  of  some  tribes,  and  sold  their  children  into  slav- 
ery in  the  West  Indies. ' '

*THE  VERY  RARE  FIRST  EDITION;  in  fact  it  is  so  rare  that  Mr. 
Field  was  never  able  to  secure  a  copy,  although  he  knew  of  the 
24mo  edition.  It  is  not  generally  known  that  there  are  three 
editions  of  this  rare  work,  all  of  which  were  published  the  same 
year,  24mo,  12mo,  and  4to.  This  latter  issue  is  BY  FAR  THE 
RAREST.  At  the  surrender  of  Fort  Necessity  by  Washington,  his 
Journal  of  the  expedition,  together  with  the  letters  of  Braddock 
to  the  British  ministry,  and  his  instructions  to  Washington,. were 
seized  by  the  French  victors.  They  were  immediately  trans- 
mitted to  France,  and  by  order  of  the  French  king,  printed  and 
sent  to  every  court  of  Europe,  as  indicating  the  aggressive 
character  of  the  British.  From  evidence  drawn  from  these 
documents,  they  charge  Washington  with  the  murder  of  Jumon- 
ville.  This  "memoire"  proves  that  Jumonville  was  approach- 
ing Washington  on  an  embassy  of  peace,  but  that  Washington, 
unwilling  to  trust  him,  had  ordered  his  advance  to  be  fired 
upon.  It  includes  also  a  translation  of  the  ' '  Journal  of  Major 
George  Washington,"  printed  in  1754.

96 


printed  laws  relating  to  the  New  World,'  and  Ternaux  'le 
premier  recueil  qui  ait  ete  public.7  These  two  assertions  have 
caused  many  readers  to  misapprehend  the  real  character  of  the 
work,  which  is  not  a  collection  or  a  '  Recopilacion, '  but  simply  two 
ordinances  of  Charles  V,  known  among  historians  as  the  famous 
Nuevas  Leyes,  and  which  have  been  the  cause  of  so  much  mis- 
chief. They  were  issued  especially  for  the  better  treatment  of 
the  Indians,  and,  we  believe,  for  limiting  the  partitions  of  lands 
among  the  conquerors.  Leon  Pinelo  states,  on  the  authority  of 
Juan  de  Grijalva,  that  these  laws  'tan  odiosas'  (so  very 
odious),  were  prompted  by  the  publication  of  the  manuscript 
tract  Dies  i  seis  remedies  contra  la  peste  que  destruye  las  Indias 
(sixteen  remedies  against  the  plague,  which  destroys  the  Indies). 
They  were  issued  at  Barcelona,  November  20th;  1542,  completed 
at  Valladolid,  July  4,  1543,  and  ordered  to  be  printed,  and 
enforced  immediately  throughout  the  Indies.  The  present  is 
the  first  edition  of  these  laws.  The  second  was  published  at 
Madrid  in  1585;  the  third,  which  we  believe  was  the  last,  at 
Valladolid  in  1603. "  For  further  and  larger  information  on

The  following  comprise  the  defects  of  this  copy :  a  very  small 
part  of  margin  (only)  of  title  has  been  supplied  and  a  small 
tear  has  been  repaired,  two  very  small  worm-holes  on  pp.  131

perhaps  unnecessary  to  state  that  they  have  been  very  skillfully 
treated.

of  the  Island  of  Tabago.     On  p.  18  is  an  engraved  coat-of-arma 
of  the  Lampsins  of  Tabago.     "This  work  is  an  important  and 
valuable    contribution   to    our   knowledge    of   the   Antilles    and

*  ALL  EVER  ISSUED,  AND  OF  GREAT  RARITY.     No  copy  is  known 
that  collates  exactly  with  what  is  called  for  on  the  title,  ' '  twelve 
copper  plates  and  two  whole  sheet  maps."     This  copy  has  the 
following    embellishments:       (I)  frontispiece,    (II)   the    script 

105 


dedication  leaf,  (III)  Avena  aquatica  Sylvestris,  (IV)  Charac- 
teristick Chicasan  head,  (V)  Characteristick  Chactan  Busts  (2 
on  one  sheet),  (VI)  Obsequies  of  the  Chactaws,  (VII)  En- 
trances of  Tampa  Bay,  (VIII)  Mobile  Bay.  All  engraved  by 
the  author,  some  signed. 

The  note  that  was  appended  to  the  description  of  the  William 
Menzies  copy  reads  as  follows: 

* l  This  extremely  rare  work  is  so  seldom  found  in  any  other 
than  a  fragmentary  condition  that  we  are  unable  to  refer  to 
the  full  collation  of  ANY  COMPLETE  COPY.  No  COPY  HAS 

EVER  BEEN   FOUND   WITH   EITHER   OF  THE   WHOLE    SHEET    MAPS, 

and  all  are  more  or  less  deficient  in  the  number  of  plates 
referred  to  on  the  title-page.  From  the  arrangement  and  tenor 
of  the  title,  as  well  as  from  the  sense  of  the  'Advertisement' 
at  the  end  of  the  volume,  WHICH  is  IN  THIS  COPY,  ALTHOUGH 
GENERALLY  MISSING,  we  are  clearly  of  opinion,  that  it  was 
the  author's  design  to  distribute  the  'twelve  copper -plates, 
and  Two  whole  Sheet  Maps'  throughout  the  two  volumes 
into  which  he  intended  to  divide  the  work,"  etc. 

The  leaf  of  "Advertisement"  is  of  special  interest,  as  in  it 
he  mentions  a  Map  of  the  Savage  Nations: 

.  .  .  "  The  Map  of  the  country  of  the  savage  nations  in- 
tended to  be  put  facing  page  72,  was  engraved  by  a  gentle- 
man who  resides  in  the  country  60  or  70  miles  from  New 
York,  to  whom  the  plate  was  sent ;  but  when  it  was  sent  back, 
it  miscarried,  through  the  carelessness  of  a  waggoner,  and 
though  the  publication  has  been  delayed  some  time  on  that 
account,  it  is  not  yet  to  hand,  the  reader  will  therefore  please 
to  expect  said  map  with  the  second  volume. ' ' 

Romans  did  engrave  two  maps  that  would  have  been  appro- 
priate for  insertion  in  this  work,  but  they  were  altogether  TOO 
LARGE.  Instead  of  being  WHOLE  SHEET  MAPS,  THEY  ARE  DOUBLE 

SHEET    MAPS,    AND    ARE    LARGE    FOLIO   IN    SIZE,    altogether    out    of 

proportion  for  a  work  of  this  size  (small  8vo)  even  if  folded. 

Only  2  copies  of  these  maps  exist,  to  our  knowledge,  (1)  in 
the  Library  of  Congress  and  (2)  in  the  Historical  Society  of 
Pennsylvania.

*  COPIES  IN  CONTEMPORARY  SHEEP  OF  THIS,  ONE  OF  THE  RAREST 
BOOKS  ON  THE  AMERICAN  ABORIGINES  ARE  EXTREMELY  DESIRABLE. 

Mr.  Field  in  his  Indian  Bibliography  gives  a  most  interesting 
account  of  this  small  volume,  which  we  give  in  extenso: 

"The  mystery  which  surrounded  the  authorship,  history, 
and  origin  of  this  very  rare  volume  has  been  slowly  dispelled 
by  successive  fragments  of  information.  So  few  copies  have 
survived  the  holocaust  to  which  it  was  devoted,  that  its  very 
existence  was  unknown  to  the  most  zealous  collectors  of 
Indian  and  Vermont  history.  Published  anonymously,  with- 
out preface,  it  was  known  to  but  few  that  the  author  was 
the  Eev.  Daniel  Clarke  (e)  Sanders,  President  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Vermont.  Immediately  after  its  appearance,  some 
person,  evidently  a  personal  enemy  of  the  author,  published 
an  acrimonious  critique  upon  the  book  in  the  Literary  and 
Philosophical  Repertory.  The  animus  of  the  critic  was  evi- 
denced, not  only  by  the  bitterness  of  his  language,  but  by  his 
ignorance  of  the  subject  of  Indian  wars,  being  more  pro- 
found than  that  of  the  author  of  the  book  he  scored.  Such 
was  the  effect  of  the  article  upon  either  Mr.  Sanders,  or  the 
publishers,  that  the  work  was  suppressed.  But  very  few 
copies  could  have  escaped  the  hands  that  were  now  as  zealous 
to  destroy,  as  they  had  lately  been  to  create.  In  fact,  so 
nearly  complete  was  the  destruction  of  the  book,  that  it  was 
forgotten  by  those  who  professed  to  know  most  of  its  author, 
his  biographers.  Neither  Thompson,  Williams,  or  Hemenway, 
who  published  memoirs  of  him,  mention  his  authorship  of  the 
Indian  wars."

*  VERY   FINE  COPY  OF   THIS  RARE  EDITION.    This  account 
relates  the  details  of  the  first  victory  gained  over  Indian  forces 
by  English  troops,  after  the  savages  had  been  taught  the  use 
of  firearms.     Nearly  twenty  years  elapsed  before  the  whites 
gained  another,  during  which  period  they  suffered  such  dread- 
ful defeats  in  thirteen  battles  at  the  hands  of  the  Indians,  that 
the  blood  thickens  with  horror  at  their  narration.     For  nearly 
a  century  this  book  was  attributed  to  Thomas    Hutchings, 
whose  name  is  found  upon  the  map  of  Col.  Bouquet's  route. 
Mr.  Spofford,  the  Librarian  of  Congress,  first  called  attention 
to  a  letter  written  by  the  indefatigable  Rev.  William  Smith,  of 
Philadelphia,  in  which  he  announced  himself  as  the  author.

*  EXCEEDINGLY  RARE,  FORE  AND  UNDER  EDGES  BEING  UNCUT. 
The  material  relating  to  the  Indians  is  interesting  .  .  .  "  There 

has  been  a  neglect  to  bring  the  INDIANS  to  the  possession  of 
the  Gospel.  Something  has  been  done  through  the  Piety  of 
particular  Men,  and  at  the  Cost  of  some  in  Old-England.  But 
we  are  reproached  abroad  for  our  Negligence.  Many  Men 
have  been  more  carefull  to  make  a  Prey  of  them,  than  to  gain 
them  to  the  Knowledge  of  Christ  .  .  .  We  must  bring  them  to 
Civility  and  to  learn  our  Language,"  etc. 

The  next  question  is  also  of  the  greatest  interest:  Q.  VIII. 
Did  we  any  wrong  to  the  Indians  in  buying  their  Land  at  a 
small  price?  ....  "The  Indians  were  well  contented  that  we 
should  sit  down  by  them  ....  Tho'  we  gave  but  a  small  price 
for  what  we  bought,  we  gave  them  their  demands,  we  came  to 
their  market,  and  gave  them  their  price,"  etc. 

The  author's  final  paragraph  is  much  to  the  point:  "Hooped 
Petticoats  have  something  of  Nakedness,  Mixt  Dancings  are 
incentives  to  Lust;  Compotations  in  Private  Houses,  is  a 
Drunken  Practice."

Thevet,  natif  d'Angoulesme.     Illust.  with  4-1  woodcuts  by 
Silvanus  Antonianus.     12mo,  original  calf,  gilt. 

Anvers:  Ch.  Plan  tin,  1558 

*  A  fine  copy  of  this  very  rare  description  of  America.     With 
the    autograph   on   title    of    Jean    Ballesdens,    a   noted   French 
author   of  the  end  of  the   17th  Century,  and  Member   of  the 
French  Academy.     From  the  Bourinot  library. 

Although  from  the  title  one  might  expect  that  it  relates  prin- 
cipally to  the  northern  parts  of  America,  the  larger  portion 
of  the  book  describes  the  then  known  parts  of  South  America, 
only  the  final  chapters  relating  to  North  America.  The 
author  accompanied  Villegagnon  in  1555,  and  in  the  follow- 
ing year  extended  his  voyage  with  that  leader's  nephew,  Bois  le 
Comte.  Commencing  with  their  departure  from  Havre-de- 
Grace,  he  describes  all  the  wonderful  things  they  saw  (and  one 
may  imagine  many  they  did  not  really  see)  on  their  journey 
along  the  coast  of  Africa  as  far  as  Madagascar;  from  there 
they  crossed  to  America,  touching  the  coast  at  the  river  of 
Ganabara  (Rio  de  Janeiro) ;  then  the  description  is  continued 
along  the  coast  of  America  to  the  north,  winding  up  with  a 
recital  of  the  latest  discoveries.  This  latter  part  is  a  sum- 
mary of  the  first  two  voyages  of  Cartier,  which,  Thevet  writes, 
was  narrated  to  him  by  Cartier  himself.  Earlier  in  the  work 
he  calls  the  Country  Canada,  a  very  early  mention  of  the 
country  by  this  name,  and  which  there  is  little  doubt  he  heard 
from  Cartier.  Thevet  is  also  the  sole  authority  for  the  state- 
ment that  Sebastian  Cabot  attempted  a  settlement  on  the  shores 
of  Canada  with  men  from  Iceland,  but  that  300  of  them  died 
from  cold  in  the  month  of  July.  There  has  been  much  dispute 
on  the  question  whether  Cabot  made  an  Icelandic  voyage,  which 
seems  to  be  supported  affirmatively  by  this  statement.  The 
word  Iceland  is  printed  ' '  Irland, ' ;  but  there  is  no  doubt  that 
Iceland  is  meant,  not  Ireland. 

The  illustrations  are  extremely  quaint,  some  of  them  being 
the  first  representations  of  American  animals.  The  bison  and 
the  opossum  are  very  curious.  Some  of  the  cuts  served  De  Bry 
as  a  basis  for  his  illustrations  in  the  Grand  Voyages. 

A  curious  fact  is  that  Columbus  is  not  mentioned.  Ves- 
puccius  is  given  as  the  discoverer  of  America,  and  Thevet  says 
that  the  continent  is  rightly  named  after  him.

Extract  from  the  Will  of  Edmond  de  Goncourt  : 

(Trans.) 

"My  wish  is  that  my  Drawings,  my  Prints,  my  Curiosities, 
my  Books  —  in  a  word  these  things  of  art  which  have  been 
the  joy  of  my  life  —  shall  not  be  consigned  to  the  cold  tomb 
of  a  museum,  and  subjected  to  the  stupid  glance  of  the 
careless  passer-by*,  but  1  require  that  they  shall  all  be 
dispersed  under  the  hammer  of  the  Auctioneer,  so  that  the 
pleasure  which  the  acquiring  of  each  one  of  them  has  given 
me  shall  be  given  again,  in  each  case,  to  some  inheritor  of 
my  own  tastes."
